It was great to see him lay the body last night, but I honestly felt like I was watching 3 different players throughout the game. I hear people say he's all tools no toolbox but then watch him play a solid 20 where he's putting himself in the correct positions, laying stick and deflecting passes, clearing the crease, etc. not 10 minutes of playtime past getting beat outside 3 times because he stops skating for ?reasons?.
